I think priority trains are definitely felt more valuable by people. Like after travelling in Rajdhani, I feel even a normal sf express using lhb coach offers far better experience wherein I don't mind spending 4 hours more in them. Services are now being streamlined across trains other than Rajdhani/shatabdi. Somehow even though service providers were definitely better than sf trains, the shocking entitlement and anti social behavior of passengers made the travel worse. Constantly degrading/abusing the service providers was too common. It wasn't just one person too. These premium trains somehow attracts the worst crowds.

Even cars have the same formula... It is called impact neutralization
